On the way to escape from famine, I amaze the world with my medical practice

On the day of trial, the relevant persons were brought to court again.

Magistrate Zheng did not dare to tamper with the autopsy no matter what, so he could only record it truthfully.

Ye Xiangxiang was very sure, "My Lord Magistrate, the deceased was clearly poisoned. All the poisonous drugs from Jiuzhen Hall were registered in the yamen, and the quantities are correct. This poison can't be from our Jiuzhen Hall, right?"

Magistrate Zheng's face was dark and he said nothing.

The plaintiff's family was very panicked, "Sir, Cao Min's mother has never taken any other medicine except the medicine from Jiuzhen Hall. If Jiuzhen Hall can't get the poison, Cao Min's family will have no way to get it."

He turned his head and glanced at Ye Xiangxiang, "Things like poison can kill people even if they are just a little bit. Even if there is a record in the Yamen, they are keeping these drugs and no one will notice if they are used at all."

Ye Xiangxiang argued, "According to what you say, isn't the case just based on guesswork? Just because Jiuzhentang has medicine, it must be the poison administered by Jiuzhentang?"

"I dare to ask if we have any contact with each other, if your family is rich, and what is Jiuzhen Hall's motive for poisoning your mother."

The plaintiff could not explain many reasons, but only insisted on one thing.

As long as the county magistrates can't say that they themselves were responsible for the poison, they can directly blame Jiuzhentang.

Anyway, my mother took medicine from Jiuzhentang before she died. As long as I don't talk too much, no matter what, the crime will not be placed on my family.

"How would I know why you wanted to poison my mother? Maybe it was a secret enmity, or maybe there was a mistake when you took the medicine."

Ye Xiangxiang sneered, "How about letting you decide the case?"

She looked at Magistrate Zheng, "I have been doing autopsies for many years and have rich experience. Should I be able to find out whether the poison poisoned by the deceased belongs to Jiuzhen Hall?"

Magistrate Zheng's eyes widened, and Ye Xiangxiang knew that he already knew about this.

If they already knew it and still allowed the plaintiff's family to talk nonsense, then someone secretly told Magistrate Zheng to sentence him this way.

"Bold, in the court, you will not be allowed to talk nonsense. I will make my own decision about what is right and what is wrong. You don't need to speak. You are not allowed to speak at will until I call you."

The plaintiff immediately said, "Sir, Cao Min is unjust. How could Cao Min's family have such great ability to get such a poison? Moreover, Cao Min's family is very filial to their mother, so how could they poison her and murder her?"

Magistrate Zheng still shouted harshly, and the hands of the defendant's family were trembling.

Ye Xiangxiang turned his head and glanced. They were very scared and kept emphasizing that he had not poisoned them.

This in itself is unusual.

The victim was their mother, and most people wouldn't think it was them who poisoned her. Why wasn't the first reaction to ask the magistrate to find out the truth, but instead kept trying to distance herself?

The only explanation is that I have a guilty conscience, I have done something wrong, and I am afraid that others will suspect me, so I immediately distanced myself from the relationship.

Magistrate Zheng asked some more details of the case. Ye Xiangxiang raised his hand and said with his agreement, "There are many poisons in the world that can kill people. Not only can they be obtained in drug stores, but also in ordinary foods that can be seen every day. Can kill people, such as..."

She paused deliberately to observe the reactions of the plaintiffs. They were trembling with fear.

Ye Xiangxiang then continued, "For example, rice made from moldy and red rice."

After finishing speaking, the plaintiff's brother slumped back to the ground and immediately shouted, "I didn't, I didn't poison my mother, I didn't..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone in the court looked at him.

Ye Xiangxiang asked directly, "What evidence do you have to prove that you didn't poison it? You didn't question what I said, you just denied that you poisoned it. Is it possible that you knew that the red rice was poisonous?"

When she asked, the man became even more frightened and trembled all over.

Several other people quickly pulled him up, and Ye Xiangxiang asked, "Master Magistrate, the plaintiff's family is so abnormal, shouldn't they be interrogated carefully?"

Magistrate Zheng sweated on his vest, and the matter was already obvious. The deceased was poisoned and the plaintiff's family was so frightened that this matter probably had something to do with them.

Country people are timid, and they can't help but show their weaknesses after a slight scare.

If no one intervenes in this case, then he will definitely give the plaintiff a good trial. However, the Zhang family warned him in advance that...

The plaintiff was so frightened that a little torture would bring results, but there was no way to end it.

Magistrate Zheng didn't say anything. Ye Xiangxiang asked, "What doubts do you have, magistrate? Could it be that you already know the result, but you just don't know how to judge it? It doesn't matter. If the Wushan County government can't find out the case clearly, it can be submitted to the higher authorities. Someone can find out."

"You are bold and unruly, and dare to insult my own incompetence. I will pull you down and give you twenty punishments with a cane."

Immediately, a Yamen servant came forward and pulled Ye Xiangxiang away to hit the board.

Ye Hongchang stood outside and said in a loud voice, "In front of so many people, the magistrate is going to give in and give up. This case is full of doubts. The magistrate does not interrogate the plaintiff, but comes to attack the defendant who points out the doubts. What's the point?"

"If Wushan County decides the case so unfairly, ordinary people will appeal to higher levels to get justice."

Magistrate Zheng was very hesitant. He would not get any good results if he offended anyone.

When we were in trouble, the official from outside came in and announced, "Sir, the judge has arrived."

Magistrate Zheng breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Please come in quickly. Please come in quickly."

It's good that Tong San is here. This matter can be handed over to Tong San, and then he doesn't have to worry about it, and he won't offend anyone.

When he saw the person, Magistrate Zheng became sad again.

Tong San was here, but he came with Zhang Yuesheng, and he was still wearing regular clothes.

The intention was very obvious. He was not here to help with the case, but to put pressure on the Zhang family.

Magistrate Zheng was so anxious that he couldn't sit still and wanted to stand up to greet him. Lin Tongpan smiled and said, "Today I just came to Wushan County for some private matters. Don't be polite, Mr. Zheng. I just came to observe, and that's all." Not participating in the trial.”

While talking, someone had already moved two chairs up.

Zhang Yuesheng sat down directly with his legs crossed, "Master Zheng, continue the trial."

He had come in person, so Magistrate Zheng still dared to hesitate and drag Ye Xiangxiang to fight.

Zhang Yuesheng smiled and said, "What about contempt of court? There is no need to fight. How will this case be judged? Mr. Zheng will give you an explanation."

What he wants is results.

Magistrate Zheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at Master Wang for help.

Master Wang lowered his head, not daring to speak casually.

It's really unlucky for you, sir, to have such a bad thing happen to you.

Isn’t this the wrong choice no matter what?

The Zhang family really bullied others so much that they instigated a county official in the court, which made him extremely angry.

But what can be done?

The Zhang family cannot be offended.
